This could be a urinary tract infection or a tumor, bladder stones and other condition. You should take Izzy to a vet for an exam and urinalysis and a blood test (checking kidney values , etc.). If there is a UTI or kidney infection she will need prescription antibiotics. Depending on the diagnosis, other therapy may be needed.
